Markstrom has made two NHL appearances and as it stands now, he is 0-1-0 with a 10.21 GAA and .500 SV%. He went down to the AHL last weekend and went 2-0-0 with a 1.42 GAA and .943 SV% so maybe this time around he will have a little more confidence. He draws a great matchup for people who are in a pinch fora spot-start—the Yotes have lost seven in a row.
Allen allowed two goals on 12 shots after replacing Brian Elliott in the Blues loss to the Wild yesterday. Allen will get the nod today vs. a struggling Red Wings team who continue to slip in the Eastern Conference standings. Allen has gone 8-3-2 with a 2.58 GAA and .911 SV%.
Palat has missed the last three games, but he could be back on Friday against the Red Wings. Palat has had a fantastic season, so his return would certainly help the Lightning’s top-6.
Markstrom went 2-0-0 with a 1.42 GAA and .943 SV% in two games with Utica over the weekend. There is no indication when his next start will be, but the Canucks do have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday.
The Canucks are sent Markstrom down to play a few games over the weekend but he is expected to swap places with Joakim Eriksson again next week.
Allen allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Blues loss to the Canucks on March 1st. Brian Elliott has started the last five games, but Allen will go tonight in Dallas. He has struggled in his last two starts, allowing nine goals on 48 shots (.813 SV%). He will be in tough again tonight in Dallas.
Palat injured his foot while blocking a shot on a Tuesday. He was force to leave that game, now he will be forced to miss the next 2-3 weeks. Expect him to miss at least the next six games. This could open the door for Jonathan Drouin to play a top-6 role.
Palat took a shot off of the foot and was forced to leave yesterday’s win over the Canadiens. Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said the X-rays “looked okay” but Palat will be reevaluated. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game in Boston.
Markstrom has not played an NHL game yet this season, but has performed admirably at the AHL level, going 17-7-2 with a 1.95 GAA and .932 SV% in 26 games with Utica. He will face the Sharks, who sit just five points behind them in the Pacific Division.
Allen allowed five goals on 23 shots in the Blues loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday. It was a difficult outing for Allen, who finished February at 3-1-0 with a 2.05 GAA and .918 SV%. He will face Vancouver for the second time this season—he allowed three goals on 22 shots in a 4-1 loss back in October.
Allen allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Blues win over the Bruins on Friday. He has been excellent in February, going 3-0-0 with a 1.37 GAA and .946 SV% in three starts and two relief appearances. Tonight he takes on a Montreal team who have gone 3-1-2 while scoring just 2.33 goals per game over their last six.
With Ryan Miller out for an undetermined amount of time, Markstrom, 25, returns to the Canucks to serve as Eddie Lack’s backup for the time being. He has had a great season with Utica, going 17-7-2 with a 1.95 GAA and .932 SV% in 26 games. The 2008 second round pick (31st overall) has gone 12-27-5 with a 3.19 GAA and .896 SV% in his NHL career.
Allen stopped 15 of 16 shots after replacing Brian Elliott in the Blues loss to the Stars on Tuesday. It wasn’t all Elliott’s fault, but Allen played well in relief, earning him the start tonight vs. the Bruins. Allen has gone 9-2-1 with a 2.28 GAA and .901 SV% at home this season.
Allen made 16 saves on 19 shots after replacing the unsuccessful Brian Elliott in the Blues 7-1 loss to the Columbus last Friday. If you discount the ugly relief appearance, Allen has won each of his last three starts while posting a 1.94 GAA and .918 SV%. He has been relatively strong all season long and makes for a great start with the Coyotes in town.
Allen allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Blues 3-2 shootout win over the Hurricanes last Friday. Allen has won three consecutive games with a 1.70 GAA and .921 SV%. He has a great chance to extend that streak to four as he gets set to take on the lowly Sabres in Buffalo. He makes for an excellent spot-start.
Allen allowed two goals on 15 shots in the Blues win over the Oilers on January 13th. Tonight will mark only his second start of the month, but things should start to pick up for him again. He comes into tonight at 13-5-2 with a 2.65 GAA and .900 SV% on the season. The Blues are red-hot, so Allen is a great start against the NHL’s 29th ranked offence.
Allen gave up a single goal on 20 shots after replacing Brian Elliott in the Blues win over the Hurricanes on Saturday. He has lost each of his last three starts while allowing a combined 12 goals, but a strong outing on Saturday and a great matchup tonight should help get him back on track. He made 13 saves in a 4-3 OT win in his first start against Edmonton.
Palat missed the morning skate and was listed as a game-time decision, but his availability for warmups suggests that he will be in the lineup vs. the Maple Leafs.
Palat is just a “little banged up” according to coach Jon Cooper. He did not skate this morning and will likely test his lower-body ailment in warmups before deciding if he will play.
